Super Husband

I figure it's about time I give a shout out to my wonderful husband. He puts up with my crazy obsession with our dog, my online shopping addiction, my laid-back attitude towards housekeeping, my mood swings and nagging...and he rarely complains (I sound like a real dream, don't I?)! He always takes good care of Lu and I, and he gets up early to walk her every morning so I can sleep in. Thanks babe, you're the best!

R.I.P. Hedgie

Hedgie the hedgehog has seen his final days. Lu got him for Christmas, and he was an instant favorite. He had the weirdest sounding squeaker and he was almost too big for Lu to fit in her mouth (she loves a challenge). Lu always brought Hedgie to the door when I got home, and she always carried him outside with her on potty breaks. Some mornings we would wake up and Hedgie would be in the bed with us. He was a good toy. After she chewed a tiny hole in his back, it was over. Stuffing was everywhere. I even tried to pull most of it out so she wouldn't eat it, but she could still manage to find more. I swear there was enough stuffing in him to make 5 pillows! I'm not going to tell you how much I paid for him, because I know it's ridiculous to spend that much on dog toys. The only reason I bought him is because Lu was with me at PetCo when I spotted him, and she said she had to have him. What kind of mother would I be if I told her no? (Obviously I should never have kids.)

Now he's just an empty shell.

"Who me? I didn't do it"

Super Bowl Sunday

I planned a big party for the Super Bowl with themed food and everything. We had a gourmet hot dog station, cheese fondue, a few other dips and I even attempted to make deviled eggs*. Only one problem…I forgot to tell anyone! I had been planning the party for weeks, and never really got around to inviting any of my friends until it was too late. Luckily, my husband had passed the word along to his friends, so my hard work didn’t completely go to waste.

Lulu loves it when all the boys come over. Everyone gives her lots of attention. She’s not shy either. I think she sat in everyone’s lap at one point during the evening, whether they wanted her there or not! Of course all the excitement wore her out, so she had to take a little break during the game. She was not being very ladylike, as you’ll see in the pictures below!

*my mother misinformed me as to the amount of mustard that one should use when making deviled eggs. Let me just tell you, ½ tbsp. is a lot different that ½ cup. Thanks mom! 

At least they looked pretty!

She has no shame!

I just figured out how to add captions to pictures! Yay!

Bad Dog

Every time I leave the house in the morning, my perfect little angel looks at me and promises she'll be good. Then I come home at lunch and find this:

She also punishes me if I leave anything out in her area while I'm gone. Yesterday, my new Ugg house shoes were the victims. I can't say I blame her because the fur on them does look and feel a lot like the stuffing in her toys. Luckily, she didn't mess them up too badly (or I caught her before she could do more damage)! 

Hipstamatic

If you're like me, this is exactly how you feel about buying apps:

Love it! I really only download the free apps. HOWEVER, for Hipstamatic, I made an exception. It was a good call. Any app that can help a horrible photographer like me take beautiful pictures like these is well worth $1.99:
